Kalen DeBoer made several impressive moves and decisions when assembling his first coaching staff in Tuscaloosa. One of those was retaining now associate head coach/defensive line coach Freddie Roach and now assistant head coach/running backs coach Robert Gillespie. Many recruits Bama247 has spoken with over the course of the last six or so weeks has stressed the importance of keeping Roach and Gillespie on staff.
One of those recruits and top Alabama targets who has stressed similar thoughts is four-star Akylin Dear (Quitman, MS), the No. 9 running back in the country.
Alabama offers 2025 RB Akylin Dear from Mississippi
The Alabama coaching staff recently extended an offer to 2025 running back Akylin Dear.
Dear plays for Quitman High School in Quitman, Mississippi. His sophomore highlight tape shows his ability to over-power defenders and pick up big chunks of yardage. His running style is somewhat reminiscent of Leonard Fournette.
Alabama is already recruiting a handful of other running backs in the 2025 recruiting cycle like Alvin Henderson and Anthony Rogers.
With Dear living less than two hours away from Tuscaloosa, he could look to make multiple trips in the future. He will have both his junior and senior year to take visits.
